A worthy successor to the first in the Boudica series. In fact, it was, in my opinion, much better thn the previous one, and, I feel, the following books can only get better and better. I look forward to reading 'Boudica - Dreaming the Hound' with relish.
I feel that Manda Scott (M.C. Scott) HAS to be the foremost writer of Ancient History cum fiction in the world today, and as we are in touch via email and Twitter, I look forward to meeting her at the English Heritage Festival of History in Kelmarsh, Northamptonshire, in July.

Hailed as Boudica, the Bringer of Victory, Breaca now leads her people's resistance against the occupying legions of Rome. Opposing her is Julius Valerius, an auxiliary cavalry officer whose increasing brutality in the service of his god and emperor cannot shield him from the ghosts of his past. Caught between them are two children, pawns in a game of unthinkable savagery, while in distant Rome the emperor Claudius holds the balance of lives in his hands.
